Chapter 80 The New Ten Wizard Saints! Council Chairman: What are you trying to do by raising so many powerful warriors, Fairy Tail? (Part 5)
ERA (Magic Council of America)
With the year-end approaching, the members of the ERA council are also busy.
Inside the meeting room.
All the members of parliament, including the chairperson, were seated in their respective seats.
"Speaking of which, aren't there too many vacant positions among the Ten Archmages right now? Do you have any suggestions?"
The current President of the Magic Council, Crawford Himm, sat at the head of the conference table and asked questions to everyone present.
"A candidate for one of the Ten Holy Archmages?!"
After Crawford finished speaking, the members of parliament present began to whisper among themselves, but no one suggested a new candidate.
After all, the criteria for the Ten Archmages are strength, character, reputation, and achievements; only those who meet all four criteria can be included.
According to the Magic Council's ERA's requirements for the "Ten Wizard Saints," very few people across the entire continent of Ishgar meet the criteria.
"Is nobody here?"
"Then let's leave that topic aside and move on to the next item—"
Crawford expressed his understanding of the congressman's silence.
To be honest, he didn't have anyone he could recommend.
"Speaker, if we only consider strength, I think Gildarts Clive, a member of the Fairy Tail guild, perfectly meets our requirements."
Just as Speaker Crawford was about to move on to the next topic, Yajima, a former Fairy Tail guild member, one of Makarov's closest friends, and a current member of the Magic Council's ERA, suddenly raised his hand and used his quota to recommend Gildarts as a candidate for the "Ten Wizard Saints".
Yes, even though Yajima has left Fairy Tail, he is still protecting the Fairy Tail guild, which is the most important thing to him, in his own way.
"puff----"
As Yajima finished speaking, Reggie, who had just taken a sip of hot tea, couldn't help but spit it all out, shaking his head and saying, "You mean to bestow the title of 'Gildarts of Fairy Tail' upon him? Are you crazy?"
Yajima! Do you want to ruin the credibility of the "Ten Wizard Saints" list?
"That's right, that's right!"
"Perhaps in terms of strength, Gildarts is undoubtedly the strongest in the western part of the Ishgar continent, but when Councilor Luno mentioned Gildarts's character, his eyes immediately showed a hint of disdain."
"this----"
Yajima fell silent for a moment. He knew Gildarts had some character flaws, but the important thing was to try, right?
"Ajmah MP".
"To become one of the Ten Archmages, strength alone is not enough."
The so-called "Ten Holy Ones" are role models for all mages on the continent of Ishgar; they must possess impeccable character, strength, and...
All the required achievements must be met.
"So Gildarts and all that stuff are out of the question, and we shouldn't mention his name again in the future."
Speaker Crawford sighed. He knew that Yajima, as a former Fairy Tail member, still favored Fairy Tail deep down, but he couldn't just mess around like this.
"I see."
Yajima sighed, thinking helplessly, "Little Ma, it's not that I don't want to help you! It's just that I really have no other choice. Gildarts's infamy is already everywhere."
"alright."
"Next topic."
Having convinced Yajima, Crawford planned to immediately move on to the next topic.
"If Gildarts isn't an option, what do you all think of Ido from the Fairy Tail guild?"
Unfortunately, before Crawford could begin the next topic, Toki Anderba, also a member of the Magic Council, spoke up.
"Um?!"
Yajima seemed surprised to find that among the councilors, besides himself, there were actually members of the Fairy Tail guild.
"Um.
""
Toki Andba winked at Yajima, confirming with a glance that they were all on his side.
"Is Id's reputation really that much better than Gildarts'?"
"I've heard that Id frequently blows up towns, harasses women, and has two wives; he's inhuman."
"Especially since it's said that his two wives are both top-notch beauties, which makes it even more outrageous."
Og snorted coldly, his words filled with anger towards Id.
"Congressman Euger, please wait a moment."
"According to my investigation, the bombing of the town and the harassment of women were all done by Gildarts. He deliberately used Id's name to confuse the public."
"Therefore, I believe that Id is a perfectly good person!"
As Toki Anderba spoke, he sent the information he had gathered to the members of parliament present.
"this."
After reviewing the documents, the lawmakers discovered that Id's bad reputation was entirely due to Gildarts, and they fell silent.
Even Yajima was stunned.
In other words, after Ido helped Gildarts take on almost half of his misdeeds, Gildarts still won the title of "Shit Archmage of the Year." So you can imagine just how despicable Gildarts' character is!
"I have finished speaking about Idris's character."
"Next, let's talk about strength. I think Id's strength is already quite evident from his title, 'The Strongest Archmage in the East of the Continent.' As for his reputation, there's no need to say more; his title speaks for itself!"
"In terms of achievements, whether it's the recent subjugation of the great demon Deliora or the suppression of the riots in the magical prison BLACKVOX, these are all tremendous accomplishments, so I believe—"
Toki Andeba, being a veteran senator, had prepared extensively and thoroughly researched the matter, unlike the "unarmed" Yajma, and spoke eloquently.
"wait."
"Please wait a moment, Representative Tochi Anderba."
"I must admit that I was wrong to pin the blame for Gildarts's misdeeds on Id without properly investigating the matter! But there's one thing I'd like to ask you."
After reading through the documents, Og interrupted Toki Anderba, who was talking non-stop, as if he had a question to ask.
"Please ask."
Toki Anderba nodded slightly to Og.
"Indeed, as you stated in your document, the person who destroyed the town was not Id, the person who harassed women was not Id, and the person who caused trouble while drunk, was arrested and imprisoned, and then escaped was not Id. But there is one point you have not yet clarified."
At this point, Og's expression gradually turned serious. He looked coldly at Toki Anderba and said, enunciating each word clearly, "But how do you explain marrying two wives?"
"You should know that on the continent of Ishgar today, the kings of various countries only dare to marry one queen."
After questioning Id, Og added a sentence to make his questioning more reasonable.
"They were just living together, they weren't actually married. According to my investigation, Idris has only been married to one woman."
Toki Anderba argued his case forcefully.
"If we were to make Idris one of the Ten Saints today, and all the mages in the world followed suit, what would become of us?!"
Ogg, too, held firm to his own reasoning and showed no intention of backing down.
"you----"
For a moment, Og and Toki Anderba were frozen in place.
"Okay, okay."
"Both of you should take a break and stop arguing about this."
"As for Id's place among the Ten Saints, we'll discuss that later. Disputes are worth discussing, right?!"
In the end, it was Crawford, as the Speaker, who smoothed things over between Og and Toki Anderba.
While it was said to be a way of smoothing things over, it actually leaned towards Oughté, and the so-called controversy and subsequent discussion meant that it was not being considered.
"snort."
At this, O'Glock smirked and exchanged a glance with Senator Reggie beside him before taking a sip of his hot tea.
"very good."
"Since both Gildarts and Id are morally questionable, I'll assume they are morally questionable as well—"
"Then I propose that the title of 'S-Class Mage Ur Mirkovich of Fairy Tail's Tenth Grade' be awarded to him."
Toki Anderba's lips curled up slightly. From the initial argument to the present, everything had been in line with his plan.
Toki: "Don't underestimate the old man's strength, you bastard!"
"puff!"
Representative Reggie spat out the hot tea he had finally managed to drink, spraying it all over Representative Ogg's face.
"What?!"
"Fairy Tail has other powerful fighters?"
Not only were Reggie and Og dumbfounded, but even Crawford, the chairman of the council, was dumbfounded.
You can't find a single strong enough person to earn the title of "Ten Wizards" in a whole kingdom, but you can find three in the Fairy Tail guild?
No, Fairy Tail, your mage guild, is just a private mage guild. What exactly are you trying to do by training so many experts?
"Uru is absolutely of impeccable character; she's known as 'Icebound' on the mainland, and has helped countless people."
"In terms of strength, she was the strongest mage in the Kingdom of Isbon ten years ago, so there is no doubt about it."
"Finally, regarding her achievements, she has repeatedly helped the Kingdom of Isban suppress bandits and dark mages!"
"He also destroyed the Magic Development Bureau, which had been taken over by the Dark Magic Cult, and even defeated Brian, the director of the Magic Development Bureau, whose strength was comparable to that of the Ten Wizard Saints."
"Character, ability, achievements, reputation—Uru deserves the title of one of the Ten Saints in any of these four aspects."
Toki Anderba listed all of Uru's merits, each one in such detail that no one present could find fault with them.
"this----"
For a moment, even Crawford, the chairman of the council, fell silent.
"Speaker, we cannot award the title of Fairy Tail's Ten Wizard Saints any further."
Of course, some council members' expressions changed drastically. If Fairy Tail has one "Gen X" and it's already this arrogant, what would happen if there were two "Gen X"? They might rebel against the heavens!
"I----"
Crawford was also helpless. He was in a dilemma. On one hand, Ulru truly deserved the title of "Ten Wizard Saints," but on the other hand, he couldn't let Fairy Tail become stronger, otherwise the Council of Wizarding would be unable to control it.
"Finally, there's a letter of recommendation."
Toki Underba took in everyone's expressions, a slight smile playing on his lips. He pulled a letter from his pocket and handed it to Speaker Crawford.
Yes, he had a backup plan, this was his trump card. "And this is—"
Crawford didn't read the contents of the letter; he glanced directly at the signature on the letter of recommendation. Upon seeing the name Warlord Sinkn, he nodded and said, "Given the outstanding achievements of Ul Milkovich, a member of the Fairy Tail guild, over the past few years, she has set an example for the magical world! I believe she is fully deserving of the title of one of the Ten Wizard Saints."
"Alright, the meeting is now adjourned."
"Uru Mirkovic has been nominated."
Crawford carefully put away the letter of recommendation and said earnestly.
Well, grades, reputation, and character are all nonsense; when it comes down to it, you still need a letter of recommendation.
